•You will need to create thirty two (32) HST’s from: B/C,F/G,J/K, and E/L. To create eight half square triangles with Fabric B and C, take a 9 3/4¨ square from both fabrics. (Diagram 1)

•Place right sides together. Draw two diagonal lines on the back of your squares to form an X. Sew on both sides of the diagonal lines at 1/4" . (Diagram 2)

•Next cut squares vertically in half and horizontally in half. Then cut on both diagonal lines that you drew.

•You will now have 8 HST's. Repeat this process until you get 32 HST's from: B/C,F/G,J/K, and E/L.

•Place a 2 1/2” square right sides together to the end of a 2 1/2” x 4 1/2” strip and sew at the diagonal. Trim seam allowance to 1/4” . Draw a diagonal line as reference on the wrong sides of your 2 1/2" squares. (Diagram 3 and 4)

•Make sure to watch fabric placement and orientation. Follow quilt illustration as a guide.

• Draw diagonal a line as reference on the wrong sides of your 2 1/2" squares. Repeat this process to get 32 of these blocks making sure to watch fabric placement and orientation. Sixteen of these blocks will be sewn with the digaonal going to the right and the other 16 will be towards the left. (Diagram 5)

•This quilt consists of one block made 16 times in different fabric combinations.

•You will need four of each block.

B IND ING

Sew rights sides together.

•Cut enough strips 1½" wide by the width of the fabric O to make a final strip 330" long. Start sewing the binding strip in the middle of one of the sides of the quilt, placing the strip right side down and leaving an approximated 5" tail. Sew with ¼" seam allowance (using straight stitch), aligning the strip’s raw edge with the quilt top’s raw edge.

• Stop stitching ¼" before the edge of the quilt (DIA-GRAM B 1). Clip the threads. Remove the quilt from under the machine presser foot. Fold the strip in a motion of 45° and upward, pressing with your fingers (DIAGRAM B2). Hold this fold with your finger, bring the strip down in line with the next edge, making a horizontal fold that aligns with the top edge of the quilt (DIAGRAM B3). Start sewing at ¼" of the bor-der, stitching all the layers. Do the same in the four corners of the quilt.

• Stop stitching before you reach the last 5 or 6 inches. Cut the threads and remove the quilt from under the machine presser foot. Lay the loose ends of the binding flat along the quilt edge, folding the ends back on themselves where they meet. Press them together to form a crease. Using this crease as the stitching line, sew the two open ends of the bind-ing with right sides together (you can help yourself marking with a pencil if the crease is difficult to see).

• Trim seam to ¼" and press open. Complete the sew-ing. Turn binding to back of the quilt, turn raw edge inside and stitch by hand using blind stitch.

•Place BATTING on top of backing fabric.

•Place TOP on top of the batting with right side facing up. Smooth away wrinkles using your hands.

•Pin all layers together and baste with basting thread, using long stitches. You can also use safety pins to join the layers.

•Machine or hand quilt starting at the center and work-ing towards the corners. Remember that quilting motifs are a matter of personal preference. Have fun choosing yours!
